This is an evening time raaga.
Guru Arjan Dev ji guides us …

Ang 701:
The company of the holy is like a boat to ferry me across the world ocean.
Also followed by …I cross the world ocean when I come in company of the holy.

Let me share my thoughts about this painting….
The evening time sky above, a solitary figure sits in the boat….
the boat is white…..suggesting my Guru’s pure guidance,
In this boat of Guru’s guidance ….. One can safely cross over…..
It is a hopeful scene for me…it’s evening time…..the shore is near …..there is the possibility of making it to ashore before nightfall….of crossing the world ocean before life’s end.
I also wanted to share my perspective that….
The journey to the Guru is a solitary journey ….for each one individually…..
Thus the solitary figure in the boat…
